Martha Housley
Martha traveled with her husband, John, and son William, on the ship Amazon, arriving in New York in 1863. The only definite source to place them on the Thomas Ricks' 1863 train is her husband's biographical sketch. They are clearly documented in Utah by 8 October 1863, when her husband was rebaptised in the Coalville Ward. Martha was rebaptised in the same ward on 8 November 1863.
